Hello
I know its the wrong time of year to be starting out, but I am!
Haven't ridden for a lot of years but about 3 months ago joined a gym and started loosing weight, enjoying the exercise I started thinking about riding my bike again.
Then to give myself a big push, whilst looking at a hospice website with my wife for taking part in a Santa Run. I saw the Nightrider 100km ride through London advertised and turned to my wife and said quite casually - I think I should work toward that!
So I have until June! Whilst on Jury service last week I had an afternoon to my self in Ipswich and popped into the Bike shop. And the next day picked up my Road bike "Raleigh Airlite 200"
So thats me, I am 31, I live in a small village just outside Framlingham.
Went for my first ride Saturday, travelling 7.1miles in 28mins. avg 15mph. Not sure where that rates me?
Anyway thats my intro!
